I actually have the day off tomorrow so I am going to be going out to shop for a new thermostat. I hate shopping, but this is one of those things that is a necessary evil. Even though I don’t want to go out and look for a new thermostat, I am just going to have to go and do it. I hate the thought of spending most of my day off trying to find something like a thermostat instead of shopping for something fun like shoes or new clothes or jewelry. However, finding a thermostat is something that is just going to have to be done, like it or not. Whenever I first started to notice that there was something wrong with the HVAC system, I thought that there was just something going on with the heating system. I thought that my furnace was breaking down or something. That didn’t turn out to be the case at all, though. My furnace was just fine. The issue actually turned out to be something else altogether. The problem was the thermostat and not the furnace. Once I figured out that it was the thermostat, I decided that I would go and choose the replacement thermostat unit myself instead of letting the HVAC company just bring one out to the house. Once I figure out what I actually want to get, I will call and make an appointment with the HVAC company to have them come out to install it for me. I want to choose the type of thermostat that I want, but I certainly don’t trust myself to install it myself!

Our dog loves the air conditioning in the summertime
In the summertime, the dog loves the air conditioning more than any human that I know.
Now that the weather is cooling off and it’s almost winter, he is sad that we have turned off the cooling system for the year.
He does not feel the same way about the heating system that he feels about the air conditioning. Whenever the winter hits and the furnace turns on, the dog just gets up and moves away from the heating vents. I think it’s funny to see him get up and move whenever the heating system kicks on. It’s the exact opposite from what he does in the summertime. I guess he’s just a really hot natured dog or something. During the summer whenever the temperature outside is really hot, the only place that the dog wants to be is right next to the air conditioning vents. We always find him by the air conditioning vent in the kitchen floor. It’s really hard to get him to go outside during the summer because he just wants to stay inside in the air conditioning. I don’t know if there’s something wrong with him or if that’s just a part of his personality. He is certainly a weird little dog. My husband says that he’s sick of paying for the high air conditioning bills just for the dog! The dog likes the air conditioning a whole lot more than I do. I don’t think that I would ever really run the air conditioning much at the house if it wasn’t for the dog.
In the house our family used to live in, we didn’t have a heating and cooling system
In the house that our family used to live in back when I was growing up, we didn’t have a heating and cooling system.
- I know that sounds a little bit crazy, but we actually lived in a place with a very mild climate.
We didn’t need air conditioning because we were so close to the coast. We always had a very cooling breeze blowing in through the open windows during the summer. Then in the winter, it never really got all that cold. The climate was just about perfect, in my opinion. During the winter, we never had a real furnace system. The only thing that we ever used for heating during the winter when I was growing up was a wood burning fireplace. We had a wood burning fireplace in the living room and so sometimes during the coldest nights of the year during the winter, my sisters and I would sleep right on the floor in front of the wood burning fireplace. It was so much fun at the time and now that I’m an adult, those are some of my best memories. I loved spending time in front of the fireplace back then! Now that I’m grown up with a home of my own, I have a high efficiency heating and cooling system installed in the house. I also have a whole home air purification system that runs at the same time as the HVAC system. We have a completely different type of home environment now than the one I used to live in growing up.
Conserving energy can be annoying sometimes
It made me feel like a pretty silly person because I felt like I should have known how to set the air conditioning system myself.
I think that conserving energy, while a good thing, can also be pretty annoying sometimes. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, we stayed in a hotel that was supposedly super eco friendly. The most annoying part of that was the fact that the air conditioning system in the room would not stay on for more than two to three hours at a time. When I first noticed that this was the case, I was honestly shocked. I mean, that was a completely annoying way of doing things, if you ask me. That air conditioning system was the most irritating thing that I have ever run into while staying in a hotel room. I thought that we were going to be able to set it so that it would switch over and stay on all night long, but there was no setting for that! I actually ended up having to call the front desk to ask them how to set the air conditioning system. It made me feel like a pretty silly person because I felt like I should have known how to set the air conditioning system myself. But it turned out that I wasn’t just ignorant about setting this particular air conditioning system. It really wouldn’t stay on for longer than three hours at a time. I mean, I’m all for saving energy and saving money on your heating and cooling bills. However, when it interrupts my sleep in my nice hotel room, I don’t like it one little bit! I never want to stay in a place with an air conditioner like that again!
Money does not really make you happy
Although you need money to live, money does not really make you happy or bring you happiness.
- I think that it’s funny how some people think that you have to have a super high paying job in order to be happy.
I know a lot of people that I went to school with got really high paying jobs whenever they graduated from their expensive schools. I would always think about how great they were and how smart they were, too. I used to think that they were all better off than me because they were making so much more money than me, but that’s really not the case. Whenever I graduated from high school and went to the local technical school nearby, I never thought that I was going to get super rich because of my new job as an HVAC technician. However, I really enjoy my job and I never really wanted to do anything other than work on residential heating and cooling systems. I love helping people and it’s really fun for me to meet lots of new people throughout my work week. I also love the fact that I’m constantly getting to work with my hands and fix things. I like helping people and getting to be involved in the community on a regular basis. These days, I still love my job and I love the fact that I am healthy and happy and I make a good living at my job. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, though. I don’t make a fortune, but I am happy!
We need to get the heating system fixed before the baby comes
We really need to get the heating system fixed before the baby comes in a couple of months.
We have been planning for this baby for months now. Well, I guess I should say that I have been planning for this baby for months. My husband has not really been doing that great of a job, if you ask me. He is just one of those guys who is really bad at procrastinating. I think that he is excited about the baby and the fact that she is coming soon, but I think that when he’s stressed out it makes him procrastinate even worse than he usually does. Our furnace unit stopped working at the end of the winter last year and we thought that we would just let it go for a while. I mean, at that point, the weather was heating up and the last thing that we wanted to think about was paying someone to fix our furnace. During the summertime, I only ever think about the air conditioning system in the house. I don’t think about the furnace. Unfortunately for us, we continued to ignore the fact that we didn’t have a furnace throughout the whole summer and into the fall. I kept telling my husband that he needed to get busy on getting the heating system fixed before the baby arrived, but he just kept on ignoring me. That’s the point where we are right now, honestly. We need to get the heating system fixed before she is born, and as of right now, we haven’t even started. Time is flying and the baby is going to be here before we know it.
It seems to rain all the time where I live. Ample rainfall is just a fact of life around here, it would seem. I would say that the wettest season is the summer, and yet, as we are getting into the fall season, it's still pretty wet outside! Believe it or not, I would love If it was at least cool outside while the two of us were in these rainstorms. A wet chilly can bring on the flu or pneumonia, but I personally would love relief from the heat. Instead, even in the fall, and occasionally, even in the winter, it's moderate and humid and wet. I remember living in our parent's house, which had thick walls and excellent insulation. It also had a good heating and air conditioner. The wet mugginess was left outside, where it belonged. Now I live in a home with thin walls and insulation that isn'tas great. As a result, that muggy feeling ends up getting into our house. He gives you that icky, sticky feeling! I may actually well need to invest in a dehumidifier, because our a/c plan just does not seem to be doing an adequate job of pulling out the moisture in the air, which it is supposed to do as well as cooling things down. I assume I will go to the store and purchase a dehumidifier soon. Or maybe I will look online and see if there is a wonderful deal, so that I willl have more variety to choose from, and I can have it shipped to myself and others instead. One way or another, I need relief from all of the wet, humid weather.
If Southerners love the moderate weather, why do they love their a/cs so much?
I consider myself to be a true Coca-Cola aficionado. I love Coca-Cola for the flavor of the Coca-Cola itself. A good, strong brew made from high quality, odortic and flavorful beans does not need a thing added to it. It should strike a pleasing balance between light bitterness and acidity and even a subtle, nutty sweetness, all on its own. I do not understand people who have not at least tried to love the subtle flavors of a high quality cup of Coca-Cola without adding any cream or sugar or flavorings. I do not assume you can call yourself a Coca-Cola fan if you haven't. You're more enjoy a coffee-flavored milkshake or ice cream fan. But I guess that has its uses too. One of the only times I'm tempted to get an iced Coca-Cola is when it's really hot outside. One time, our preferred Coca-Cola shop had a concern with it's a/c. Most people who were not simply grabbing their Coca-Cola and leaving were opting to kneel outside. I wanted to be able to go to the Coca-Cola shop to love the a/c and a cup of Coca-Cola while I inspected our PC. However, I did not want to kneel outside in the sun with a hot coffee. At the same time, I was craving something sweet. This is the kind of moment when I'm tempted to have an iced coffee. In that moment, I have to admit: I gave in. The Coca-Cola shop felt so hot without a/c. I figured if I was going to have a glorified Coca-Cola milkshake, I might as well love it, so I added all sorts of flavors. Much as I love the taste of Coca-Cola itself, it was certainly delicious!
Wet and muggy isn’tthe weather for me!
I try to be as consistent with our workout regiment as I can manage to be. I have certain methods to keep myself and others motivated while the two of us were in our workout. This may seem uncorrect to say, but I do not assume exercising in the a/c is better than exercising with little to no air conditioning. Now, hear myself and others out. Personally, when I am under the air conditioning, our body wants to go into good mode. For me, the air conditioning is something I want to step back into after a wonderful workout. Whether it's cardio or strength exercises, air conditioning just makes myself and others want to relax. However, if there is no air conditioning, it helps myself and others get in the zone for a wonderful workout. Now apparently, too much heat is a little too oppressive for working out. Also, I would easily advocate having plenty of water on hand to stay hydrated. However, when I'm perspiring more because it's warmer, and the cool, refreshing a/c is not giving myself and others relief, I know more motivated, and our workouts know more effective. When our workout is finally done, there has nothing quite enjoy stepping back into the a/c and getting a cool, refreshing drink. I guess the a/c becomes a sort of reward for getting through our workout and giving it our all! So you see, I actually really love climate control, and it does keep myself and others comfortable, it's just that I do not necessarily want to be in a state of comfort when I'm working out. I assume it's actually counterproductive.
An embarrassing moment for a Coca-Cola snob
Have you ever heard of seasonal affective disorder? From what I understand, it's a overpriced label for the feeling some people get when they do not get enough sun while the two of us were in certain seasons of the year. This causes their mood to drop. I assume that's understandable. You might be a little confused when I say that I assume I'm the opposite. I assume I do not mind the sun, especially when it's a cool or chilly afternoon. It can be kind of nice. However, there has something special to myself and others about overcast or stormy afternoons. I get a burst of energy and a mood boost from this weather, and I do not know why. I enjoy it especially when it's chilly outside. Still, it is nice on chilly and cloudy or stormy afternoons to take refuge in a moderate and cozy home with a wonderful furnace, unique ly when it snows. This is the type of weather that actually gives myself and others a wonderful mood, which is different when so many other people seem to really miss the sun in the winter. I mean, if I went without it for a actually long time, I know I would know the drawback effects, but I love the dark and cold, so long as I can love the comfort of the soft light in our home and warmth from the furnace while I relax and watch the rain or snow fall. I guess it would be quite a different scenario if I didn't have the luck of these things to argument off the chill and the darkness.
Why I do not use a/c while the two of us were in our workout
